Colorado Air National Guard F-16s return home to Buckley Air Force Base after being housed temporarily at Denver International Airport for the last three months, Buckley AFB, Aurora Colo., July 12, 2014. The partnership between DIA and the COANG allowed necessary runway reconstruction at Buckley AFB to take place while also providing F-16 pilots the opportunity to continue their 24/7 alert mission and vital training flights twice a day at DIA. Construction on the runway will continue through September, however the airfield is back to operational status. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Senior Airman Michelle Y. Alvarez-Rea)
